`
`(CB) Experts. Retained experts of a party in the proceeding who further
`
`certify in the Acknowledgement that they are not a competitor to any party, or a
`
`consultant for, or employed by, such a competitor with respect to the subject matter

`support staff, who sign the Acknowledgement shall be extended access to
`confidential information only upon agreement of the parties or by order of the
`Board upon a motion brought by the party seeking to disclose confidential
`information to that person. The party opposing disclosure to that person shall have
`the burden of proving that such person should be restricted from access to
`confidential information.
`
`(FE) The Office. Employees and representatives of the Office who have a
`
`need for access to the confidential information shall have such access without the
`
`requirement to sign an Acknowledgement. Such employees and representatives
`
`shall include the Director, members of the Board and their clerical staff, other
`
`support personnel, court reporters, and other persons acting on behalf of the Office.

`(GF) Support Personnel. Administrative assistants, clerical staff, court
`
`reporters, outside copying and exhibit preparation services and other support
`
`personnel of the foregoing persons who are reasonably necessary to assist those
`
`persons in the proceeding shall not be required to sign an Acknowledgement, but
`
`shall be informed of the terms and requirements of the Protective Order by the
`
`person they are supporting who receives confidential information.
`
`3. Persons receiving confidential information shall use reasonable efforts to
`
`maintain the confidentiality of the information., including:
`
`(A) Maintaining such information in a secure location to which persons not
`
`authorized to receive the information shall not have access;
`
`(B) Otherwise using reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of the
`
`information, which efforts shall be no less rigorous than those the recipient uses to
`
`maintain the confidentiality of information not received from the disclosing party;
`
`(C) Ensuring that support personnel of the recipient who have access to the
`
`confidential information understand and abide by the obligation to maintain the
`
`confidentiality of information received that is designated as confidential; and
`
`(D) Limiting the copying of confidential information to a reasonable number
`
`of copies needed for conduct of the proceeding and maintaining a record of the

`
`4. Any party may challenge a designation of confidentiality at any time. In
`
`the event of a challenge, the parties shall attempt to resolve such challenge in good
`
`faith and meet and confer directly in voice to voice dialogue in connection with
`
`doing so. The parties may then approach the Board if unable to resolve a dispute.
`
`5. Nothing in this Protective Order is intended to affect the burden of proof
`
`on any party under 37 C.F.R. 42.20 or otherwise. Nothing in this Protective Order
`
`is intended to prevent Bradium from identifying in public filings, based on non-
`
`confidential information, the identities of any persons or parties whom it contends
`
`are real parties in interest or in privity with Petitioner, or to prevent the Board from
`
`identifying the names of any parties it finds are real parties in interest or in privity
`
`with Petitioner.

`
`6. Unless otherwise provided herein, redacted copies of documents may be
`
`produced where the redacted portions contain privileged matter. Any redactions
`
`must be conspicuous. Any party can request additional information to assess
`
`privilege on a reasonable number of the redactions or documents withheld from
`
`production. Any party may challenge the propriety of redactions or the
`
`withholding of documents. In the event of a challenge to a redaction or the
`
`withholding of a document on the basis of privilege, the parties shall attempt to
`
`resolve such challenge in good faith and meet and confer directly in voice to voice
`
`dialogue in connection with doing so. The parties may then approach the Board if
`
`unable to resolve a dispute.
`
`7. Confidential information shall be used only for this proceeding and not
`
`for any other purpose, except that confidential information may be used in
`
`subsequent IPR proceedings, subject to an equivalent protective order, that involve
`
`the same patent, in which there is a dispute regarding real party in interest or
`
`privity, or where it is contended that estoppel or a time bar applies as a result of
`
